Olive Jemima Cobb was born 11th October 1910, Norfolk.
The younger daughter of E Cobb, and sister of
Cissie Cobb (1909)
She married William (Bill) Henry Musk (1913-1992)
on 24th March 1934, at Dickleburgh, Norfolk, England.
They spent their married life living in Dickleburgh, Norfolk.
In 1936, their only child a son,
Alistair Patrick Musk, was born. Sadly he died
aged 27 years, on 14 March 1963,
and is buried in Dickleburgh Church graveyard.
Olive was diagnosed with cancer,
which Bill kept to himself,
until after her death on 22nd February 1978.
Sadly she was not able to be buried with her son,
and was buried a few rows away in a double plot,
where Bill joined her in 1992.
***********************************************************
Bill was my Godfather, and as a small child,
she was for ever trying to stop him throwing me into the rain water butt!
***********************************************************
DO NOT STAND AT MY GRAVE AND WEEP
Do not stand at my grave and weep,
I am not there, I do not sleep.
I am a thousand winds that blow.
I am the diamond glint on snow.
I am the sunlight on ripened grain.
I am the gentle autumn rain.
When you wake in the morning hush,
I am the swift, uplifting rush
Of quiet birds in circling flight.
I am the soft starlight at night.
Do not stand at my grave and weep.
I am not there, I do not sleep.
Do not stand at my grave and cry.
I am not there, I did not die!!
